See slides 58 and 59 - this can take a while.

ChatGPT got to 100m users much faster than anything else because it's riding on all the infrastructure we already built in the last 20 years. To a consumer, it's 'just' a website, and you don't have to wait for telcos to build broadband networks or get everyone to buy a $600 smartphone.

But, most people go to the website and say 'well, that's very cool, but I don't know what I'd use it for'. It's very useful for coding and marketing, and a few general purposes, but it isn't - YET - very helpful for most of the things that most people do all day. A lot of the presentation is wondering about this.

Only OpenAI knows for sure, but so many non-tech people I know use ChatGPT for a sounding board for whatever. "My boyfriend sent me this text, how should I respond?" or "Teach me about investing." There are a bunch of people I know that don't use ChatGPT, I'm just surprised at the uptake by people who I didn't think would have as use for it have found it very useful.

How long is a while and what is it, that most people do all day?

A quick Google search for "most common job" came back with

    Cashier

    A cashier works in a retail environment and
    processes transactions for a customer's purchase.

I wouldn't be surprised if robots can do that on their own in 10 years.

Robots can already do that, they are used at large chains (McDonalds) and they are used all the time.

What they can't do is call the police when the hobo gets too wild, can't fix the inevitable bug in the process(by doing some 4th level menu bypass) and other random stuff that might pop up.

And when the robot can do all that humans are no longer viable as economic entities and will be out competed.

		The problem is, the robot has to know what I want it to do without me having to dictate it. That's the beauty of human interaction, it can't be massively truncated down to just even finger pointing.
